My uncle insisted I skip the switchbacks on the Timberline Trail, said it saved an hour. I took a bad slide and lost half a day patching gear.
He swears by cutting corners, but I'm starting to think the trail builders had a point. Anyone else have a 'shortcut' story that went sideways?

Honestly, this happens with furniture assembly all the time. Tbh, skipping the steps in the manual to "save time" almost always means you're backtracking later to fix a wobbly leg or a weird gap. The people who wrote the guide probably knew what they were doing.

It's like that with so many stuff now, not just furniture. We skip the basics to get ahead faster, but then the whole thing feels off. Rushing just means doing it twice.
